I'm a huge Coldplay fan, and love this song. I know there are many complaining that they don't like it, some of the long-time fans say Coldplay has gone too far from their "Classic" sounds. But I love that the band has taken new directions. I think this song is a fresh step, great strings, great piano, great vocals, bass and guitar. It brings together everything that Coldplay is.

At the same time, the song isn't all that new, or at least, portions of it aren't. Some instrumentation comes from a song Coldplay wrote in 2008. The song is called "Fun" and was one of a few given to Natalie Imbruglia for her album. In 2009, Chris Martin said he regretted giving her the song, and Natalie said he couldn't have it back (Much like Coldplay giving Embrace "Gravity" then later taking it back and releasing it as a B-side). It seems Coldplay have instead taken some parts of "Fun" and incorporated them into Paradise. It worked out beautifully, hopefully Natalie won't notice!

The song definitely caught me by surprise but I feel like its a move to a new direction with Coldplay.The instruments in this song is massive, sounds epic.. plus Chris' voice adds the last remaining piece to this amazing song.Sing it now! Para-Para..Paradise! Ooooohhhh

I took a test on face book and my song was Paradise by Coldplay,at that time I did not know who that was so I went to my Amazon and listened.I realized that I had heard the song and I really did like it,so that led to my purchase and I'm very pleased it did.I know this sounds like an unusual way to purchase a song but I don't listen to music like I did so it turned out great for me....

adult contemporary for sure but kid friendly. catchy. great bass line . the instrumental parts are the best parts of the song. Dont get me wrong Chris Martin's voice is angelic but they know how to write
